A sequel to Tomita's A Bibliographical Catalogue of Italian Books
Printed in England 1558-1603, this volume provides the data for the
succeeding 40 years (during the reign of King James I and Charles
I) and contributes to the study of Anglo-Italian relations in
literature through entries on 187 Italian books (335 editions)
printed in England. The Catalogue starts with the books published
immediately after the death of Queen Elizabeth I on 24 March 1603,
and ends in 1642 with the closing of English theatres. It also
contains 45 Elizabethan books (75 editions), which did not feature
in the previous volume. Formatted along the lines of Mary Augusta
Scott's Elizabethan Translations from the Italian (1916), and
adopting Philip Gaskell's scientific method of bibliographical
description, this volume provides reliable and comprehensive
information about books and their publication, viewed in a general
perspective of Anglo-Italian transactions in Jacobean and part of
Caroline England.
Through entries on 291 Italian books (451 editions) published in
England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, covering the years
1558-1603, this catalogue represents a summary of current research
and knowledge of diffusion of Italian culture on English literature
in this period. It also provides a foundation for new work on
Anglo-Italian relations in Elizabethan England. Mary Augusta
Scott's 1916 Elizabethan Translations from the Italian forms the
basis for the catalogue; Soko Tomita adds 59 new books and
eliminates 23 of Scott's original entries. The information here is
presented in a user-friendly and uncluttered manner, guided by
Philip Gaskell's principles of bibliographical description; the
volume includes bibliographical descriptions, tables, graphs,
images, and two indices (general and title). In an attempt to
restore each book to its original status, each entry is concerned
not only with the physical book, but with the human elements
guiding it through production: the relationship with the author,
editor, translator, publisher, book-seller, and patron are all
recounted as important players in the exploration of cultural
significance. Renaissance Anglo-Italian relations were marked by
both patriotism and xenophobia; this catalogue provides reliable
and comprehensive information about books and publication as well
as concrete evidence of what elements of Italian culture the
English responded to and how Italian culture was acclimatized into
Elizabethan England.
